Ximmy is a social news service, like digg and all of the other digg clones. Except Ximmy will pay you to submit and comment on stories. You earn "reward points" which can be cashed out through paypal, every 1,000 points is worth 10 bucks. You earn 1 point for every comment, and 1 for every article submitted, If your article reaches the front page you earn 15 points. Its not super quick cash, but it is certainly easy. If you have a website or blog it is really nice since you get some traffic from Ximmy as well :) It is an interesting idea, it certainly wont replace digg for me, but its a good way to make a few extra bucks each month!

So you have read a thousand tutorials, and made some cool stuff, but have you harnessed your photoshop powers to help your wallet? If you are not ready to jump into full fledged freelancing, then you should consider this, contests. Yes, contests. There are TONS of photoshop contests on the internet, some only pay a few bucks, some can fetch you several hundred dollars. If your good with photoshop, doing contests full time can bring you in steady income every month.

So, what kind of contests are these? Well, there are many different types, some sites have contests set up just for fun image manipulations, some have contests set up by professional business, that rake in serious cash, and some contests are run on forums, by users needing some simple work done, like logos. The great part in my opinion about these contests is that it makes you feel less obligated, which can make you pull your hair out with freelancing, having a customer ask for his 57'th revision is no fun at all, with these contests, your free to stop when you like!

So what sites have contest for you to enter? Check out the list below:
Photoshop Talent - $5-20 bucks per win, prizes worth $50-100+
Worth1000 - Probably the biggest contest site, with the most money at stake
DigitalPoint - Tons of new contests every day from the forum members, most contests are related to logo designs.

Some more sites I have not fully explored:

Start a blog! If you dont have one yet, there is no reason not to, if you use a free service like me it takes about 60 seconds to sign up, and another 60 seconds to change your theme. Then just write ANYTHING! Then link to the blog wherever you are able to, on social sites, forums, to friends, in mmo games, etc etc. After you have some visitors you can ad some ads from anywhere like google and what not. So jump in and start a blog today, if you want to make money and dont know what to make a blog about, make it about your trek into making money online! Kinda like this blog! If you started a blog 4 or 5 years ago, you could probably sell it for 50 grand today!

There are many many services that will let you make a blog for free, I personally use Weebly, I like it because its so easy to customize, and its actually more of a full website then a blog. And if it doesnt have anough space for your files, you could always get paid uploading to one of these services listed here.

Alot of sites will pay you to view websites! Alot pay directly to your paypal or alertpay account, with low minimum payouts its some really quick cash :) Especially if you refer some friends!

The more sites you sign up to the more you can make, here is a list of the sites I use to make extra money, I usually just click while I watch tv.
